Proposed Community Center Building Request for Qualifications for Architectural Services

TOWN OF WEAVERVILLE

The Town of Weaverville proposes to construct a new Community Center building on the former Community Center site, located at 62 Lakeshore Drive above Lake Louise Park. A conceptual plan has been developed for a 6,600 SF building with 1,200 SF of covered porches (see attached drawing). The Town intends to use town funds for the construction of this building. The Town is now seeking professional architectural services for the design, permitting, bidding, construction inspection and contract administration for this project. The Town would like to complete the project by mid-2020.

The Town is requesting qualification packages from interested architectural firms, and each package will be reviewed and rated on a 100 point scale based on a variety of criteria including the following:

Firm experience on similar public projects (40 points)

Available personnel by name, title, longevity, and public project experience (10 points)

Proposals shall be limited to 20 pages (not including front or back covers, table of contents, and cover letter). Proposals shall be clearly marked to indicate the project title.
